SurfingSurfing (Hawaiian: he'e nalu, "wave-sliding") is a very popular recreational activity and sport. Surfers are propelled across the water by the force of waves, while standing on a flat, wide board.
To go surfing or bodyboarding in jeans or other regular clothing would be somewhat of a challenge, but it is being done. Some hardy creatures surf just in T-shirts and shorts. However, the best attire for these vigoruos sports is a wetsuit which gives you hours of fun.
